research apprentice program
The University of South Dakota RAP is funded through the SD Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network at the University of South Dakota. The program is designed to introduce economically, socially or educationally disadvantaged high school students to health-related research. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase the number of disadvantaged students interested in science and health careers. Students are expected to have an interest in science and/or health careers and be willing to actively participate in a research laboratory during the program. The program exposes participants to contemporary concepts in health sciences, updates computer based skills and modern laboratory techniques, and shows how a research team designs and conducts experiments using the scientific method. The high school students will work with the team as laboratory assistants. The high school students live in the residence halls at the University of South Dakota, spend their days learning scientific techniques and assisting in a research laboratory on campus, and spend evenings and weekends participating in the social and counseling activities of the Upward Bound program. The students receive a small stipend, room and board for the six weeks of the program. Each participant will be required to participate in a final presentation. |
